Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install golang-github-minio-highwayhash-dev on Debian 12.

What is golang-github-minio-highwayhash-dev

golang-github-minio-highwayhash-dev is:

This library is a native Go version of HighwayHash with optimized assembly implementations on Intel and ARM, Able to process over 10 GB/sec on a single core on Intel CPUs.

HighwayHash is a pseudo-random function (PRF) developed by Jyrki Alakuijala, Bill Cox and Jan Wassenberg (Google research). HighwayHash takes a 256 bit key and computes 64, 128 or 256 bit hash values of given messages.

It can be used to prevent hash-flooding attacks or authenticate short-lived messages. Additionally it can be used as a fingerprinting function. HighwayHash is not a general purpose cryptographic hash function (such as Blake2b, SHA-3 or SHA-2) and should not be used if strong collision resistance is required.
